Today’s Saturday shopping post is inspired by *your perfect trip* ♥
Let’s pretend you’re going on a trip. The most perfect trip where the weather is exactly what you want it to be, you’re doing your favorite fun thing, eating at the tastiest restaurant {or cooking with your favorite ingredients}. You’re with your favorite person {maybe you’re with a big group??} and you’re gone for the perfect number of days {3? 7? 14?!}.
Certainly you need a bag to carry some things. How about a Gussy bag ~ Pink Starburst tote bag:
Inside you can carry your laptop, a towel, books & magazines, some snacks, a change of clothes, a few smaller bags {are you out shopping?}. Our tote bags are super lightweight, easy to fold & carry inside another bag. And who doesn’t love a burst of color via a GUSSY RUFFLE?
So you like to read… I saw inside your tote bag you had a big stack of books & mags. Is a nook, kindle or maybe an iPad on your “wants” list? If so, be sure to ask for one of our eReader cases…
One afternoon you head out for a late lunch. You grab your wristlet/clutch and slip on a ruffled headband ~ both in Spring Blue:
What else do you bring? How about a small zipped pouch for your point&shoot camera, a medium zipped pouch to hold your jewelry, and a make-up bag to organize small travel items ~

A trip with my husband and my two littles off to portland where we always talk about going someday, hitting all the amazing fabric and handmade stores and eating delicious food all of course with the gussy diaper bag tote i want to purchase! :)
As we recently moved to Malaysia a trip back home with my hubby and our girls to see the family! Yes i am missing them already!
Buy some Gussy small zipper pouch to give as gifts ;-)
Gather both our families for a family lunch, hearing the kids laughter, eating delicious rice dishes cooked by my MIL pure bliss :)
I want that bag!!! I love anna marie horner fabric!!!!
The perfect trip would be somewhere with a beach, warm ocean water, and lots of sunshine with a gussy ruffled headband on of course!
My perfect trip is to London with my hubby and little girl, showing them all ny favorite places from when I studied there in college. A new Gussy would be the perfect place to hold all my travel essentials, especially the always needed London umbrella.
My perfect trip… anywhere with my hubby. Someplace warm, where I’m waited on hand and foot (no dishes to do, no laundry, no diapers to change). A week would be wonderful but I don’t think I could be away from my littles for that long! 3-5 days would probably be more realistic!
The Florida Keys! I dream of those turquoise waters and lounging around doing nothing.
I want to go camping in the camper we bought last year! We haven’t had time to really break it in yet.
I love all of your designs!! Go Gus!
Right now the perfect vacation is going to be next monto when we take my 4 year-old to Disney World. I can’t wait to watch her face the whole time. :). But I still need to look cute with a Gussy item!
The perfect trip would be grabbing my whole family (aunts, uncles, and cousins) and heading to the beach. A week of sand, ocean, amazing food, and lots of adult beverages!
um wow! The locale could really be anywhere for me, but what I would take with me?? Spot on in your post! The tote (adorable!) full of fun stuff and an iPad case (also adorable!) plus a little wristlet carrying my phone and some cash to buy fun stuff. :). Like i said though, locale makes no difference…put me in northern Alaska in January or Chicago in spring…I would make a fantastic vacation for myself and my hubs!!
right now the perfect trip would be somewhere south and sunny! siting by a beach soaking up some sun would be the perfect cure for this “icky weather funk”!
Iv always wanted a small zippered pouch for my camera! ;)
I love the pink starburst tote- great for packing for a weekend trip. Right now, I’d settle for anywhere- beach, mountains- anything for a break with my sweetie!
We are currently planning our perfect trip to Australia and New Zealand! We are planning on going to the beaches of Australia and then going on adventures on the south island of new zealand!
My perfect trip would be with my husband on a looooong weekend without the children. We could lounge around or go out for dinner at 9 at night.
No rules- just fun.
My perfect trip would be exploring anywhere with my kiddos. Seeing the world through their eyes makes everything exciting. NOW if I had a cute clutch to go along with it… That would be even better! :)
My perfect trip would be with my wonderful hubby to the beach. We would spend hours at the beach every day, and then go out to eat and shopping in the evening! One of your bags would make the cutest beach bag! I would fill in with wonderful books to read at the beach. :)
This April my husband and I will be traveling to Europe for 10 days. I have only known about your products for about a week now ( I was recommended to check it out from a friend who bought a bag.) We are traveling to Barcelona and taking a Mediterainian Cruise to France and Italy. This trip has always been a dream of my husband and I before we start a family and I can’t believe we are doing it! I would love to travel with one of your bags, they are beautiful!
my dream trip is the outerbanks with my husband… I’d take a Gussy tote to the beach with my towel, sunglasses, sunscreen, book, and some fresh peaches in it. After a day of fun in the sun we head back to the beach cottage, shower up and I would slip on a Gussy ruffle headband to match my sundress and grab a coordinating Gussy wristlet to head out for crab legs at our favorite restaurant! :)
Oh summer – please come soon!
Love love the pink stardust tote..
A trip to myrtle beach for a week with my boy and his family, just like last year.
It was perfection.
sleeping in, people watching, hours in the lazy river and hours laying on the beach.
It rocked!
I could seriously use one of those totes!
The perfect trip would be to northern Minnesota… My husband and I love the Gunflint trail and the BWCAW!!
Thanks so much for the chance to win!
Perfect trip–there are too many to choose. I’d love a Disney vaca! But sitting on a beach/in a cabin/in a comfy hotel bed and reading all day sounds nice, too!
I’ am going on the perfect trip in one week! My husband and I are taking my daughter and my parents to New Orleans! My husband is from there and moved her after Katrina. I’ve been back with him before by now we are taking the whole family. We are staying in a big fancy hotel built in 1886 right in the French Quarter. Oh, the delicious food we will eat! The shopping! The sites! The people! I am so excited! I sure hope my Gussy wristlet and headband get here before the trip ;) I am also getting a kindle for my birthday so I would sure love that shop credit to get a Gussy ereader case!

My next trip will be a trip to the hospital to have baby #4! My perfect trip….a long weekend away with just my husband!
Any trip, anywhere. I haven’t been anywhere in so long.
But I absolutely love staying in hotels, and I’m really looking forward to warmer weather, so anywhere warm and sunny, as Michigan is dreary today, with an abundance of rain. I’d take my husband and my nephew – maybe my two sister-in-laws if they beg ;D
And go to florida or cali or arizona.
Anywhere!
A perfect vacation would include hubby, my girls and sleeping in. I don’t care where we go or what we do, a getaway for the 5 of us sounds divine.
My perfect trip is with my hubs and kiddo’s of course. I’m craving a road trip, with many stops for food, sun & fun!… OH and the beach.. so I could So use a TOTE.. HA!
Love all of these pretties, Gus! And such a cute post, too. ;)
The perfect trip for me will have to wait for October…the sweetheart & I want to go all sorts of places together when we’re married!
The perfect trip is ROATAN, Honduras….sand, aqua water, and monkey lalas to drink!! Love the beach and LOVE YOUR CREATIONS!! :)
A great vacation would be to go to Europe with my husband!
Well since the beach is 3 blocks away, I would love to head somewhere like Ashville, NC or Dillon, CO! As weird as it sounds, I could use a complete change of scenery for a week or 2 ;)
Love that pink tote! I’d have to take it thrift store shopping :)
My perfect trip would be a long weekend in Santa Barbara….winery visits and shopping with a close group of girlfriends….carrying a gussy tote of course. ;)
The perfect trip would be taking my husband and going to either the colorado mountains or the beaches of hawaii. Either place would be a dream… of course I would need the pink tote for things like water bottles, sunscreen, and snacks. Then a wristlet clutch for my sunglasses and a small zippered pouch for the camera. That would be our perfect trip. :)
My favorite trip is taking my family to stay at a cabin along side the beautiful lake at Pine Beach Resort in Park Rapids, Minnesota. I love being next to the water with no technology to interrupt our family time. When we go, I always get some antiquing in, and a Gussy tote would be the PERFECT thing to take with me!!
My favorite trip right now would be to take my little girls to Disney world. My oldest has been, the youngest has never been and would absolutely love every second! Of course, that tote would definitely come in handy for all of their stuff!!
My perfect trip would be anywhere, as long as I had my hubby and one of those darling Gussy bags! : )
We’ve been married for almost 8 years, never took a honeymoon and have always talked about a B&B in upstate New York! We would love to take our 2 boys there someday to enjoy the outdoors, the waterfalls and (most likely) our first family vacation EVER! I would definitely need a gussy tote!
I will say San DIego, the beach with Family and Friends, and of course a Gussy tote ;)
The winter blues have really set in, so my perfect getaway would include warmth, sunshine, and my fantastically awesome husband {is fantastically even a word?!}. We have 3 children, and some time away, just the two of us, to reconnect, enjoy each other and remind us why we fell in love {without kids yelling a screaming} would be bliss… Even if it was just for a weekend.
Spring Break is this week, so I’d have to say that going to the beach, packing my fave {healthy} snacks in a Gussy yellow woodgrain tote along with a book {or two} would be awesome! or maybe a trip up to the central part of the state to visit my fave family members…who knows? ;D
your tote would travel up the mountain to the hot springs where my husband and i got married… but this time he would stay behind with our 4 small children and i would sit pool side SOLO in my own head…. the beautiful tote would carry a towel, crafty magazines, and a cold water bottle…. a momma can dream….
Anywhere there’s an ocean…with my Sweet Mom. We would lay in the warm sand and talk about life. Her life. There’s so much i want to know before she leaves this earth. Have you told YOUR Mother that You Loved her lately?
It’s been so long since we’ve taken any sort of trip that anything would be perfect to me right now! But something family-friendly would be ideal. No cooking or dishes for mama would be perfect too! :)
funny that this is your prompt! check out my latest post on my blog…
I’m going to Key West next week for spring break. I can’t think of anything more perfect than that! My boyfriend is my most important accessory, but next to him of course would be a gussy tote that I can pack away my books and suntan lotion when I hit the beach.
On a beach somewhere with my man…and NO kids.
Okay…maybe we could go on the new Disney Cruise line. that would be an AWESOME family trip.

Perfect shopping trip? No hubby. No kids. No limit on funds. No limit on time.
I normally don’t like to shop, but if all of the above happened, I might be more inclined to do so. :)
i just got back from the perfect trip…my 12 year old daughter and I went to ireland for her to compete in All Irelands, a dance competetion for irish step dancers. A goal of hers since she was little…i was able to watch her dreams come true!!
On a white sandy beach with my hunny, looking out at aqua blue water, sun shining down, with a pina colada in my hand!!!!
The beach! It’d be my little family: hubby and son and then we’d take our best friends too. We’d stay in a beach house and hubby would cook with local ingredients to make fabulous meals that we eat outside with the breeze. The kids would play in the water and sand and we’d sleep with the windows/doors open wide to get breezes and ocean sounds. And I wouldn’t get sunburned!
Th perfect trip is anywhere with the hubby – sun, sand, rain, or shine we have a great time together!
My perfect trip would be a beautiful early Summer Saturday morning walk to the farmers market and some antique shopping. Just me, no kiddos, oh okay I’ll take the sleeping baby strapped to my chest in a beautiful sling but nothing that can talk :-)
I would fill my bag with my MacBook, charger, iPhone with headphones, a bible, book, my planner, journal and fun sharpies and plan, read, blog, research new projects and listen to some sweet tunes!
My perfect trip would be anywhere with the family and with no agenda. Just rambling around and exploring, and eating yummy new things.
the perfect trip for me right now sounds like loading up a few good horses, heading down the road with a good friend or two, hitting some rodeos together, staying in the living quarters of the trailer and doing a little shopping during our down time, just being girls that love a nice horse and the pretty weather we’ve been having….dreaming…:)
My perfect trip would be to somewhere warm, sunny, and beachy. I’d go with a group of girlfriends, and it would be a week of nothing but laying out, shopping, reading, drinking, girl talk, and generally having an awesome time.
The perfect trips looks like me spending a week with my family in Florida at an amusent park or lying on the beach!
Perfect trip would be back to Spain with my husband to visit where we went on our honeymoon. A tote for the beach. A clutch for the dinners out. And a headband for walking around the castles taking photos and keeping my hair out of my face!
I’d love to go on a cruise! I haven’t been since I was 5 and it seems so fun and relaxing!
My perfect trip would be to the beach! I live in MI and right now I am sick of the cold gray weather and ready for some warmth and sunshine! A good book with the sound of waves crashing in the background is my idea of a perfect day!
My perfect trip would be a relaxing 7 day trip with my little family of guys at the beach. I would definitely take my gussy full of items just for mom. I think I would get a headband for the occasion as well! :)
To some place warm and beachy I’d go… And your tote bag and camera bag would have to come along.
My perfect Saturday trip would be packing up the necessites in the Gussy Market Tote (which I am drooling over, but haven’t been able to afford yet) and getting the stroller out and walking a couple of blocks down the street with my husband and son and spending the day at our local zoo. Jackson has just started to really get into animals and I love watching a smile spread across his face as he watches the monkeys. When the monkeys really get going Jackson lets out the best belly laughs!! That is what being a momma is all about, being able to make memories for little souls and the perfect Saturday adventure!
The perfect trip to is Europe. All the site seeing and shopping. Of course you need a few good bags to travel with. I am loving your big tote!
Wow ~ looking at all the comments so far, we are READY for winter to be over! I think my perfect trip would be a cruise to someplace like Mexico. I’ve never been on one (yet!) but I like the idea of all inclusive, new places to visit (without me having to execute the actual traveling), warm sand & blue water (or a beautiful heated pool if I don’t feel like getting off the boat!).
Of course, I’d need a few Gussy bags to carry around my books, swimsuit, sunscreen, a big floppy hat, etc…
my perfect trip would be just me and the hubs to the beach. any beach at this point, I am not picky at all! And of course, I would have to get a really awesome Gussy tote to take with me, ecause I think they are super cool!
My perfect trip…..wow…..tough question! There are so many places I would love to go!
But I would have to say my perfect trip would include: my family, bright sunshine, sand, beautiful scenery, and my camera! Relaxing by the ocean with nothing else to do except relax……that is lovely! :)
{crossing my fingers and hoping I win! } ;)
The perfect trip looks like 3 weeks in England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales! I leave on March 24th and I’m SO excited! Thanks!
My perfect trip would be to Mexico to see where my husband is from and to meet his extended family :)
ha! I was just thinking about this when I woke up. Spain please. Warm, sunny Spain.
Well, I’m hoping to take my perfect trip this May, if everything works out. I’d be heading to the beach for a few days with four of my favorite people…I can envision lots of laughing, lounging at the beach, and staying up way too late. What’s better than that (and possibly taking a Gussy goodie with me!)? :]
I would love a get-a-away to a warm, sunny place with my sweet husband! Sounds perfect to me! I always take a bag full of magazines and snacks when we travel, so I would love a Gussy Travel Tote!!!!
I’d love a day or two all, alone, at the beach, with no nursing baby or crazy toddlers…. I would like to stay away just long enough to miss them!!
In my mind, the perfect trip is a trip where my 2 very best friends and I can go to both Ireland and Italy. So. Much. Fun.
I’d love to go to the beach with my husband and little boy!
I’d like to travel to India, I’ve had an Indian pen pal since the sixth grade and he and his wife just had a baby! {Eek} Although we’ve only met through our writing he is one of my dearest friends (we’ve emailed eachother for over 12 years!) Someday, someday we will meet!
Dreaming of the perfect trip <3 Cassandra Beverly
My perfect trip would be a road trip to anyplace that has great vegan food and fantastic yarn and fabric shops! Thanks for the chance to win!
hmm, my perfect trip would be with the hubby ((of course)), visiting somewhere like Greece or New Zealand for at least one week, staying in a quaint little family run hotel, and touring around the country together; I love exploring new things with him!
My perfect trip (right now-it changes all the time) would be an all-inclusive with my husband somewhere tropical and magical, you know that type of place with crystal clear turquoise water? I would love to own my first gussy gear to take on this “trip” to paradise:)
Exploring Italy for 2 weeks :)
Will be in Anguilla in 4 weeks :) will be perfect with a gussy tote!!
Right now, anywhere warm with lots of sunshine! We are going to be beach in a few weeks and I can’t wait! Hopefully, I will have time to relax (alone!) with a good book:)
My perfect trip could really be to just about anywhere! The mountains, the beach, a park. I just want to go somewhere with my wonderful hubby and fantastic son and spend a little time appreciating all the gifts I’ve been given! :)
I’d go to Hawaii and hang out with my best friend and leave my darling kids at home with my husband!
a perfect trip is a day outting at a park with my family!! Picnic packed lunch, umbrella for some shade, and a beach ball to toss around!! Oo and don’t forget the sunscreen :)
My perfect trip would be days and days. Nothing to do. No dishes to be done ~ so eating out LOTS! Yeah for this giveaway!
Honestly the perfect trip for me is somewhere close, like within 30 minutes because I have three boys ages 3 and under. We recently went to the beach and the 7 hour car trip was insane! We had a blast while we were there though.
Well, since I’m coming off a whirlwind trip that was grueling, my ideal trip would include at least 7-10 days, the fam ~ whether my sweetie and kids only or extended fam ~ we’d mix eating out with cooking in. If it was cold outside, we’d need a fire inside. It it was hot, great air conditioning or fresh breezes coming in through open windows. And, lots of time for gelling. Being together is just refreshing. Blessings!
Right now a perfect trip for me would be something close to home for about 4 days anywhere the weather is sunny, crisp and cool. I’d spend it with my honey and we’d enjoy good food, a little shopping in cute local shops and some outdoor activities for fresh air. My favorite place to be is wherever he is. :o)
Heading back to an orphanage in India with my hubby, this time with my kiddos in tow. I love and miss those sweet faces.
I would love to go on a little getaway to Europe right now.
A perfect trip, right now, would be our family enjoying a week at the beach. And everyone is healthy, happy and enjoying them self.
I’ll be taking a fantastic trip in a couple weeks! 24 hours with a group of awesome ladies at the beach. Shopping, eating, laughing – can’t wait!
I’d love to go to Europe with my husband and sisters! :)
[…] out one of my favorites, Gussy, and her Saturday Shopping list! I have that tote, a headband, and a wristlet on their way to my […]
I am just ready to escape to the beach for a quick trip!
Golly I would love the *perfect trip! Right now that would be anywhere away from my homework!
I’m about to embark a pretty special trip un about two hours. Taking my daughter and a few friends to an indoor waterpark for an overnight stay. They are so unbelievably excited it’s contagious! Loving this time when they bounce between wanting to be grown and wanting to be silly!
One of your totes would have been wonderful to hold my book and ipod while they swim. :)
Well…aside from the perfect trip being free! I would have to say any hotel situated on a cliff overlooking the ocean. With lots of great food nearby! Just a week or so to relax, no work, sitting on the porch watching the view…me, the boy, the dog.
